White Kitchen Designs

Sorry y'all for being away so long ... some of you may have thought i fell off the face of the earth, and when you're away this long on the Internet you might as well have :-)). However, I'm still here...I'm afraid I'm one of those ...uhm..hmm.. NOT one of those super human people that can do a multitude of projects and things at once, and my little blog suffered for it. Work, a kitchen remodel and planning a vacation just took priority. I'll be on a plane tomorrow but I promise that I'll write faithfully from wherever I am. Promise.

So here's the lowdown. Something really exciting has been going on the past few months in my life - a complete kitchen renovation! I didn't want to jinx things so I didn't share this news with you guys. Call me weird. We've been to Ikea so many times these past couple months. We spent more than 6 hours one day and another 7 hours the following week at Ikea re-designing our kitchen.
I am just beyond excited.

Whether your kitchen is small or large, white is just the perfect colour.
Here are some kitchens that have inspired me....

Our kitchen will have white traditional cupboards with silver long silver handles and a black stone counter top with a white country sink. I had wanted to order marble but I've been told that a marble top is quite porous and therefore, really impractical in a kitchen.

Also, our kitchen floor is made of up several shades of grey, so I hope that the the black stone counter top will blend with the floor and make a nice constrast with the white cupboards.
